Lecture
Can Computers Beat Humans at Design?
Wojciech Matusik, MIT
28.06.2024
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
FMI Gebäude, TUM Garching Campus, Room 00.13.009A
Design is everywhere: high-performance turbines, polymers with outstanding material properties, unmanned aerial vehicles, metamaterials, or computer algorithms. However, the best designs are a product of tremendous work of high-skilled domain experts.
I will show that we are on the verge of a transition where computational methods start beating humans at design. I will describe a series of questions that need to be addressed to move the field of computational design forward: how to represent a design, how to represent design space, how to find designs with optimal performance, and how to bridge the gap between simulation and reality.
